Corporate Support

Calvary Health Care Bethlehem welcomes the support of the business community.
There are many ways that this support has been realised, including:

Cash gifts or donations

Donating money towards the purchase of specific items of medical equipment to clinical areas in need. Donations of $2 or more to Calvary Health Care Bethlehem are tax deductible.

Cause-related marketing and special events

Active participation in fundraising and public relations events and promotions designed to raise funds for a specific purpose such as Griefline or pain management, building works, equipment purchases etc. This type of support often includes a cash donation pledge as well as offering your organisation’s expertise in marketing and promotional initiatives.

Payroll deductions and gift matching

Some organisations have "adopted" a Calvary Health Care Bethlehem service, by encouraging their staff to consider regular and small deductions from their pay, which are then transferred electronically to our banking account. These employee contributions are tax deductible. Matching their employees’ commitment Calvary Health Care Bethlehem, companies will often match (dollar for dollar), the level of support provided by their staff.

Gifts in Kind & Pro Bono Services

Businesses that may not be in the position to provide a cash gift, often demonstrate their support by donating some of their products or services. This may be the provision of a raffle prize, the provision of food and/or other consumables which might otherwise be an operational or event management expense to Calvary Health Care Bethlehem, or by providing their technical and professional skills free of charge (i.e. printing, marketing and legal advice).

Staff / Community Group Fundraising

Local businesses and community groups sometimes choose to run a company function or social event (e.g. golf day, BBQ, Dinner Dance or Trivia Night in support of a Calvary Health Care Bethlehem service). Proceeds from such occasions are then passed onto the Unit or service of their choosing.

Volunteering

A few organisations have provided their employees with both the time and encouragement to volunteer their talents in support of Calvary Health Care Bethlehem. We have a very active volunteer program assisting with such things as patient transport, carer support, coffee shop and gift shop services, fundraising etc. for more information about our Volunteer Services.
